The Geologic Story of New Mexico

The “Land of Enchantment,” New Mexico is as varied in its scenery as its nickname suggests. With desert lowlands in the south and high peaks in the north, with rugged volcanic uplands and colorful plateaus, with high plains along its eastern border and with a great rift valley that literally slashes the state in two, New Mexico presents many faces to its residents and visitors. This video explores all of these areas including the Sangre de Christo mountains, Cipolin Volcano, White Sands National Monument, its many rivers and its long geologic history. A must for every earth science, geography and geology class!
